Any one have any advice on using beadlock wheels.Iam thinking of going with proline 40 series mulchers and a set of Axial 8 spoke oversized beadlock wheels.

Axials "oversized" wheels are for 40 series tires.Iam a little worried about the added weight.Gonna have to find out how heavy they are???I know the mulchers are 186 or so,and the stock Tires and wheels are 295,That leeves me about 110 grams to play with.

I have 2 sets of the oversize Axial beadlocks with 2 sets of ProLine 40 series tires (1 set of Moabs and 1 set of Big Joes) and they fit perfectly. I love the wheels and they are a perfect fit for my Savage. I also have the extended length Savage XL chassis so the larger 40 series tires look a little more scale to the rig. Previous to installing the new chassis the truck was pretty unstable at high speeds with the bigger wheels/tires. The added length made a huge improvement in stability. Here are a couple pics...

Both of those setups look great,very beasty.After doing a little more research I think that 40 series beadlocks arer gonna be a little heavy for my tiny trx 3.3 mill.Ive done alot to lighten my ride (less rotating mass)so Iam fonna stay away from the beadlocks for now,its hard because they look so damm good and from what Ive been told also work as good as they look.Thanks for all the input and time guys,realy appreciate it all,its helped me to make a decision I was not able to make on my own.

Thanks yall
